<description>&#60;p&#62;I edit film with FCP and I have reached a point where I need a better computer. The Mac Pro I have now dates from 2006/2007 and is way to slow for my needs. The question now is: should I upgrade the computer I have or should I buy a new iMac or Mac Pro. I would appreciate any advice! I'm of course looking for the most cost effective solution. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This is what I have today:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Mac Pro&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hard-disk: 232,44 GB&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I might also have to upgrade my Final Cut Pro as it is as old as the computer: FCP 5.1.4 What would you recommend here?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I need a computer to edit film (possibly HD) and also a good way to do my back-up. My internet connection isn't very fast...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thank you in advance!&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Steve Jobs died today at the age of 56, too young to be gone but he is. He will be surely missed by many Mac users. Where would we be without him pushing the limits?&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;&#38;nbsp;Hello,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I have a Canon Vixia HF S21. When recording I use the settings 60i for the recording mode. I also have a&#38;nbsp;iMac i7 core. The computer is about a couple months old so that eliminates one problem.&#38;nbsp;The&#38;nbsp;only way that I know&#38;nbsp;how to transfer files between my canon and mac is through iMovie.&#38;nbsp;(I only use iMovie for transfere and Final Cut Pro for editing) When I transfer 60i clips from the camera&#38;nbsp;and use iMovie to do the transfer i select ORIGINAL FORMAT. So the clips should be 60i. And when I right click on my clip, located on the harddrive it says in the properties 29.97. Why is that? Does iMovie convert the clips or is there something wrong with my software?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Summary:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;How do you guys transfer AVCHD clips from a canon HF S21 to a mac and have them in 60i, just as they were recorderd on the camera?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thank You in advance!!!&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Just spotted this article on macrumors:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.macrumors.com/2010/05/18/apple-refocusing-final-cut-pro-jobs-says-next-release-will-be-awesome/&#34;&#62;Apple Refocusing Final Cut Pro?  Jobs says &#34;Next Release Will Be Awesome&#34;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I hope it's not true, because I don't want FCP to focus on prosumers more than professionals. I say this in spite of being a prosumer. Not everything is supposed to be dumbed down so that everyone can use it. FCP is easy enough if one takes the time to learn it.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There's iMovie for people who cannot be bothered to learn editing.&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;I was gonna have a custom computer built for editing. But found out here in my local area, Mac is the standard everyone uses. And if it requires more, you rent it. And realized i should get a mac. I will get a nice discount due to accademic pricing on all software and computers i get. But stuck on which Mac model I should get.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'd like to get a Mac Mini. Since I'm looking at price first. It's a desktop, but still portable if needed. But does it have the Memory, graphic and processing power to edit video with Adobe Premiere, and other Production Suite Apps? I think it does. But id like to make sure before i go out and get one.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The other option I'm looking at is a Macbook Pro. As it has the 8 gigs of memory without getting the full blown mac pro...which i do NOT have the money to get no mater how much I'd like to have it. But its a considerable price increas just to have the extra 4 gigs of memory that the Mac Mini cant have (The Macbook pro im looking at even has the same graphics card as the Mini.)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Or could i just get a plain old Macbook for full portability? does that have the power to use Production Premiere and company? Thanks to anyone who can help me&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Announcing 2nd Annual FCPUG SuperMeet, Sept 13 at IBC2009&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
The Second Annual Amsterdam SuperMeet will be held on Sunday, September 13 at the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam, Netherlands alongside the IBC2009 tradeshow. We are currently raising funds for this event and have no fear that despite the present economy and the &#34;doom and gloom&#34; that permeates throughout current discussion, the Amsterdam SuperMeet will draw record attendance and continue to inspire.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
The Hotel Krasnapolsky is located in the heart of Amsterdam just a short tram ride away from the REI center that will host IBC2009. The hotel's not only easy to get to, but it's a beautiful venue to visit and network in.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
Tickets for the Amsterdam SuperMeet will go sale online only, July 20, 2009. It is expected that the Second Annual Amsterdam SuperMeet will sell out as historically every SuperMeet sells out.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Â BUT &#34;test disk&#34; says that its working ok?&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Â Does anyone else feel like Apple is loosing their touch?Â &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Â Their laptop screens and new displays have a glass surface, which creates an annoying glare. My roommate just got an iMac and he said he can see himself in the screen while he's working. Apparently you can pay $50 for a reflection resistant coating or something like that, but why should someone pay more money for something as simple as not having a crappy, glaring screen.Â &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Â They are creating pointless features. For instance, who needs this Genius thing in iTunes? Does anyone really need iTunes for find music for them?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Â Does anyone think Time Capsule is anything special? I mean, I've never accidently deleted something. If I need to back something up, I'll back it up myself.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Â I just skimmed through the MacWorld 09 video on their site and came across a point where the speaker is introducing a new feature. He sets it up my saying something along the lines of, &#34;Have you ever tried to get a lot of work done but you keep gettingÂ interruptedÂ by iChat or you have emails coming in? Well, we have this new feature that allows you to full-screen the application you are in (he was in a word doc.) so you can work in peace.&#34; That's such a pointless, lame idea. If I were being bother by iChat, I'd quit the program. I'd get off the internet if too many emails were coming in.Â &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Â I hate to say it, but Apple seems &#34;PCish&#34; their latest ideas. The ideas are lame, pointless, and now you have to pay more money to have something work properly.&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Is there a way in FCE to just list the in/out time codes and let it capture all of them at the same time?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I have been marking one, then it captures.  Then I mark the next one and then it captures...etc.  I usually have a shot list with the time codes listed, I just want to type them in there and then come back when it has all been done.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I hope that makes sense.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

&#60;p&#62;Â Can I add textures and/or live fonts to Live Type?Â  I have Live Type that was bundled with FC Express 4.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I guess I can just make the overlay in Live Type, and when I put it in FCE, I can put in any background I want.Â  That could solve my problem, but what about the live fonts.Â  Can you add those into Live Type?Â  Can fonts be purchased somewhere?Â  Or are there some available for free I could use.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Â The live fonts that are already on there are fine, just not a lot of choices.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Â Hello everyone,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I am a new film student (as of now I have only taken theory classes, and yet to take a production class).Â  I am thinking of buying an external hard drive.Â  It has been a really long time since I have touched anything in relation to film or video editing so I am pretty ignorant to alot of the technology as well as the jargon.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I really want to get more into video editing.Â  Unfortunately, due to lack of funds, I have to buy my system in stages, little by little, and cannot afford to have 1 system dedicated solely to editing (for now).Â  So for the time being my laptop will be used for everday stuff as well as learning editing and fufute student video projects.Â  Here are my computer details:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Laptop - Apple MacbookPro 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4G DDR2 SDRAM, and 250G Hard drive, running OSXÂ  10.5.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;For now I only have iMovie, but eventually plan on buying Final Cut Pro.Â  So for now I am looking for recommendations on an external hard drive.Â  I know I want at least 1 terabyte of storage.Â  I am also wondering If it is recommended to get 2 separate external hard drives - one for my media, and 1 for everyday stuff.Â  In all I'd like to keep my costs down under $600.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As I am new to all of this any comments on what I need or should be thinking about would be welcome, and all adviceÂ  would be much appreciated&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks in advance,&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;I recently purchased a JVC GZ-HD3U camcorder. I've been searching high and low to find a way in which to get this camera to work with my iMac. Now that I've found a instructional video from JVC themselves, I still have some questions that I'm hoping you can help me with.Â &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;1.	The video says to record in &#34;1440 CBR&#34; if I'm wanting to transfer the video to the computer via firewire using Quicktime Pro or another suitable program. It's my understanding from what I've read on the web, 1440 CBR only records at 27 frames per second when I believe the camera is capable of 30 frames per second. Will I notice any difference when I play back the video.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;2.	The video also says something about recording in FHD. I don't have a clue as to what FHD stands for. By using the FHD format, it states that I can transfer my video files to the Mac using a USB cable and then converting the files to AIC files. Does the FHD recording format record at a high frame rate than 1440 CBR or does it record at a lower frame rate?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I want the best quality/frames per second from this camera. Any help that you can give me will be greatly appreciated.Â &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Here is the link to the JVC instructional video so you'll have an idea of what I'm trying to ask of you:&#60;a href=&#34;http://media2.jvc.com/camcorder/macHD.mov&#34;&#62;http://media2.jvc.com/camcorder/macHD.mov&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks a million........Â &#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Forgive me for being a newbie.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Introduction. I am a prospective director, producer, editor and cinematographer (videography) who plans to film and edit a feature length documentary and all I need is a sizable capital to make it happen.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I have completed the 42-minute documentary short derived from YouTube under fair use (political footages, etc in conjunction with filmed speeches i.e. Malcolm X, historical facts and quotations) as a demonstration of my amateur filmmaking talent using (you may laugh) Windows Movie Maker.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I have already sent the short burned on DVD-R to Artivist Film Festival and am awaiting acknowledgment of reception. I also sent the DVD-R copies to a main Internet-based composer who provided royalty-free music and sent him a royalty check in amount of $65 under fair licensing agreement laid out at his web site and to an author of underground non-fiction best-sellers. The latter, if he responds favorably to the short, might hook me  up with the financiers who might provide what is termed &#34;angel capital&#34; needed to fund the production budget. That's the purpose of the short.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Anyway, here's the question &#38;amp; detail that I think will get me started provided I take college classes (multimedia lab) and teach myself perusing the books on how to use the programs in step by step process.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;____________________&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62; What's the list of softwares and hardwares needed to form a new production studio? Add if necessary, I'd like to know what specialty softwares used by professional video editors to edit and develop visual fx shots.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The basic I came up with for production from development to pre to shooting to post to marketing are as follows:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;strong&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
Power Mac 8-core with mid or high-end video card &#38;amp; at least 8 gigabits of RAM modules&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;WD MyBook 2 TB External HD&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Final Cut Pro Studio 2&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Audio Logic 8&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;FileMaker Bento (track production, tasks &#38;amp; contacts)&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Gorilla Film Production Software (track payroll, budget &#38;amp; submit info on 1,200+ film festivals)&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Final Draft or Movie Magic Screenwriter&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Optional - Autodesk Maya, Pixar Renderman, Apple Shake and/or Nuke&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Of course, the above list will cost me up to 10k as the starting point. I know it seems like jumping into the pond, to use the expression.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62; And I would opt to rent high-end video and sound equipment. It's a common knowledge Panavision do not sell the movie cameras, only rental for as much as 3,000 a day depending on model, configuration and with camera technician on hand. I would film in HD digital and sometimes 35mm traditional film stock (Kodak).&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;EDIT: I bought the following books at B&#38;amp;N -&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;How to Shoot a Feature Film for under $10,000* (*and not go to jail) by Bret Stern&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;I just recently purchasedÂ the Sony DCR HC 48 Handycam... after scouringÂ Apple's iMovieÂ discussion boards, it appears as though I will NOT be able to transfer VHS footage digitally using this camcorder as a pass through.Â  This is definitely a problem for me, as I was hoping to archive many VHS tapes to mini-dv.Â  The emphasis is to archive to mini-dv as opposed to importing all vhs footage directly into iMovie, which could ultimately tie up my internal hard drive (I would like to go through the tapes and edit them at a later date).&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#38;lt;p class=&#34;gmail_quote&#34;&#38;gt;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If I buy an analog to digital converter, do you know if I can somehow transfer the vhs to a mini-dv cassette with this approach?Â  Again, I would prefer not to directly copy footage into the computer.Â  What about investing in a vcr/mini-dv unit such as the one linked below?Â  It appears as though they are no longer manufacturing these but, given my situation, and the number of tapes I am hoping to archive (and eventually edit), it may be a wise purchase.&#60;/p&#62;
